If you are not aware of the state of affairs in Ghana or have bought into the gobbledygook propaganda being paraded by the few ‘chopping down’ the little money the economy is hanging on, let me take you down a short route of truth.
As at now, Ghana has no electricity and with this, I mean certain urban places go for 5 days without power. Small businesses such as Cold Stores which fully depend on electricity have been forced to close down.
Don’t tell me the businesses should get a generator because the Government has unconscionably increased fuel prices in the midst of the power crisis.
Secondly, despite the many water bodies we have in Ghana, living in Accra as at now is far worse than living on the Sahara desert. My auntie has to buy several ‘unclean barrels’ of water each week to keep the household going.
And if you think the above is outrageous, I bet you have not heard of the unavailability of gas and the galloping inflation which has set in on basic commodities. Even gari has doubled in price and you know what that means-students are as hungry as hell.
If it was only the above problems, I would have said; Ghana is in difficulties which would soon be solved.
Every country has its own dark days since NO where is ‘cool’. However, things in Ghana have become greater than mere difficulty as the basis of thinking and problem solving techniques-COMMON SENSE is lacking.
In the face of the above problems, the Government of Ghana is paying to fly 200 Ghanaians from the Christian Community on a pilgrimage to Israel.
